Keyword generators are tools that provide keyword suggestions for paid and organic search marketing campaigns. Basing your search marketing campaigns on brainstorming and guesswork is a sure way to sabotage your results, so a keyword generator tool should be a big part of your keyword research strategy for PPC and SEO.

Google AdWords Keyword Planner As A Keyword Generator

Many search marketers love to use Google AdWord's keyword planner tool as a keyword generator. Google's keyword tool is able to capture a huge volume of internet traffic and keyword variations, making it the go-to keyword generator for many. However, it has the following setbacks:

You need an AdWords account to use it. Not sure with WordStream's Keyword Generator.

Long-tail keywords are rarely recommended because it is a tool designed for advertisers to find keywords that can reach a high volume of visitors. These might not be your most targeted or cost-effective keywords.

While we're excited to see Google's Keyword Planner getting some cool new features, the issues with missing long-tail keywords and the necessity of having an AdWords account are big enough reasons for you to require additional keyword generators.

Bing Keyword Tool As A Keyword Generator

Bing's Keyword Tool can also be used as a free keyword generator. Where Google's AdWords Keyord Tool fails, Bing's Keyword Tool excels. Bing's keyword traffic data is exact, not rounded, and adustable by the date range you select. Furthermore, based on the date range you select, there is even a mini trends chart showing you the fluctuations of keyword volume, helping you identify seasonal keywords. However, Bing has the following setbacks:

Lack of keyword volume data

Lack of keyword suggestions

Lack of long-tail keyword suggestions due to the lack of keyword volume data

Bing's Keyword Tool was designed very well as a keyword tool, but not as a free keyword generator.
